Ezequiel Duran took a huge step forward in 2026, posting a 4.4 fWAR across 7 different positions
He has two more years of arbitration, becoming a FA in 2029. Would you buy those out together and potentially add a few more years for a 27 year old utility man?

Jacob Latz had the most dominant change up in all of baseball this year. He used it just shy of 20%, holding opposing hitters to some gaudy numbers
.080 BAA | .120 SLG | .098 wOBA | 48.4% Whiff
The average EV was 77.3 MPH and the average swing and miss distance was 4.5"

The Miz & Jhoan Duran lead baseball in Whiff% on FF, but the guy sitting third on the list might surprise some:
Chase Silseth
Silseth used his 4S 41.2% of the time this season to a 38.3% Whiff rate. Opposing hitters posting a .229 BAA on that pitch

Of those with over 320 PA, Griffin Conine had the 4th highest Barrel%/BBE in all of baseball. He absolutely DEMOLISHED fastballs this season:
.339 AVG/.653 SLG
.463 wOBA
.315 ISO
15 XBH (12 HR)
He is the x-factor for that Marlins lineup

Of the 51 LHH with 150+ PA against LHP, Corbin Carroll was the by far and away the best
210 PA
.308/.395/.549
.406 wOBA
158 wRC+
11.0% BB/21.9% K
This is now back to back years being an above average weak-side hitter!

Of the teams in the Top 12, 3 teams did not make the Postseason
There is nuance to what creates playoff teams, but WAR is *generally* a good measure for a successful season

Before the season started we had @JaxsonPPSS on the pod to put up our "Way Too Early" Awards for the 2026 season
How did we do? I would say not well...not well at all

A fun debate to be had:
Are MLB awards more about cumulative stats? (ie. HR/RBI/K)
or are they more about Rate of production stats? (ie. OPS/wOBA/FIP)
The answer lies somewhere in the middle for most, but let’s hear what the masses think 🧐
What wins awards for you?

Braiden Ward was 61/70 in stolen bases across 109 AAA games this season
He would be a big asset off the bench if he were to be deployed in any game
The Yankees are near the bottom of baseball in throwing out base stealers
Can confirm OF Braiden Ward is in NY with the Red Sox.
He has not been activated.
He presents an interesting possibility for the roster, and would make his MLB debut if he makes the squad and gets into a game.
